*vr DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER l; 1880. Pertinent Remark* About Competition for Florida Travel. the Coluwhu, and Southern Brought CobkiiIcu. •ueljr to the Front—A Fen lUllromt Foinln What a Florida Han S.p About the situation For the past week or two there has been -wonderful activity in southern railroad securities in the New York stock market The history of the great Richmond and Danville deal has already been given. The •speculative fever has extended to other southern railroad securities, and there has been a very general boom along the whole line. Last week speculation in southern .stocks lifted the general average price of .sixty active securities above $70 a share the highest point touched since the sum mer of 1883, before the collapse in Denver and Northern Pacific, Only five southern .stocks averaged an advance of 8j each last week. The fifty remaining averaged an advance of 57 cents per share, so that, in cluding the southern stocks, the general' .advance was $1.24 per share. “The enor mous growth of industry and business at the south,” says the New York Tribune, "is just now on everybody’s lips, and the count of Monte Cristo is expected to ar rive from that direction every day.” A Orest Shore Line. It is said that the friends of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfoltk Railroad Company, are arranging for the extension of their system from Norfolk, Va., to Jack sonville, Fla., and the great Pennsylvania railroad corporation are backing them up. Nothing is known in railroad circles at •Charleston of the purposes and prospects of this enterprise. Col. John B. Peck, gen eral manager of the South Carolina rail way, said that he did not think that the movement amounted to anything or that it would ever be carried out. It might be, he said, that there was too much money in Wall street, and that owing to the great boom in southern railroads this was •considered a good way to get rid of •some of it, or it might only be a .scheme on the part of the Pennsylvania railroad to bring the Atlantic Coast Line to terms. Even in case the movement should be carried into effect, Col. Peck said that he did not think that it would have any effect on Charleston, as the .southern extension would in all prob- .ability be made by way of Atlanta, as •either the Norfolk and Western railroad or the new road which the Robinson syndi cate proposes to build to Munro, N. C., -could be used to make the connection. Col. Peck was not informed, however, of the intention of the projectors of this enter prise, and only gave expressions to his per- .sonal opinions. Down the thatUhooehee Valley. Bainbridge Democrat. Another railroad from Columbus to Al bany would be in competition with the Central all the way to Allantic tide water at any point on the Georgia coast, and would prove a hazardous investment—an investment against one of the oldest and solidest corporations in the south. A line, however, down the Chattahoochee valley to tide water on the gulf, and on the Atlantic coast in Florida, would not be; and would develop the very best undevel oped agricultural and timber sections in the United States—a section, too, that a good class of thrifty people would be keen to ■settle and develops, as soon as the road was assured. The route here indicated from Tallahassee, would lead down the ? ;ulf coast to St. Marks, Tampa and Cliar- otte’s harbor—giving the line three fine ports on the gulf, and a ready outlet at Fernandina over the F. R. ana N. on the Atlantic. From Tallahassee south it would develope the best section of Florida for a hundred or two hundred miles—a section -equally as desirable and fertile as the eas - ern coast, drained by the St Johns river and the Florida Southern railroad. Con necting this line at Birmingham with the Kansas City line, now being built, the road would become at once the grand trunk line between the great northwest and the tropics, and be a paying enterprise from the start. The people along this route are ready and willing to meet all reasonable de mands upon them to secure this road, and •only await a knowledge of these require ments. While they may be “ short” on ready cash they have lands as fine as a crow over flew over, and millions of the finest timber of every kind, brave hearts and •strong arms, to do for any enterprise that promises them succor from the toils of the monopolies in whose embrace they have ■struggled for these many years. This road, be it remembered, is already g raded sixty miles (from this city to Cuth- ert), and the Tallahassee people propose to build it to the Georgia line—twelve miles sonth of Bainbridge—and donate the ' Tallahassee and St. Marks road of twenty- five miles, already in operation. Taking the twelve mile link south of Bainbridge and adding it to the distance between •Cuthbert and Columbus and we have only about fifty miles of grading to do between ■Columbus and the tide water on the Gulf and the Atlantic, as against eighty miles to build a road to Albany. A Floridian's Views. Concord,Gadsden County, Fla., Novem ber 15, 1886.—Editors Democrat: I wish, through your valuable columns to say to the citizens of Decatur county, that now is the proper time to make a strong and uni ted effort to have the anticipated Colum bus Railroad built to your city and thence to Tallahassee, Fla. . _ „ r „ A few days since Major G. W. Haynes, by request of certain of the leading citi zens of Columbus, who are interested in the building of the said road, wrote to a gentleman of this place to ascertain the reelings of the people along the line of the old survey in regard to the building of the same, to find out what privileges would be granted, and to learn something in regard to the country through which the old line of survey passes. . . . . Several of the citizens here joined in an answer to these inquiries—showing that the citizens along the old line are indeed anxious to have the road built along th said line of survey; that land enough at least to secure she right of way w li be readily donated to the enterprise; that the necessary timber for trestles, bridges, etc., can be had along the line-so that the rigi-t of way with timber, etc., need not cost the company anything from tlu. Florida and Georgia line to Talahassec, Therefore, I would respectfully say to your readers that now is the time to nel:■ l this matter, and 1 would say to those who are interested directly in the building o the road that there is no section ot country In southwest Georgia and Florida in w me a road would pay better, and there ce tainly can be no line of survey m de aJoi g whicn a road could be built at any h-'ss c ^ pense than the line of survey from Bai bridge, Ga.. to Tallahassee. Fla. mere are persons here who could lead a sur\ey ing corps from Bainbridge to Tallahassee along a route that would require but litti heavy grading and but very. little treat ling or bridging. From Bainbridge t Tallahassee, by way of Concord, the ai. tance along the old line of survey, is about thirty-five miles, and this line is througn the best farming section of Florida. The people of Tallahassee are standing ready and willing to aid in the enterprise to the fullest extent of their ability, prove ^ever built and operated, will of th< ; very be3t paying in- j m any section ot our country, thl l )erau ? d ;A Messrs.

Competition for Florida Travel. Tallahassee Floridian. railroad fever Beems to prevail in Georgia, in southern and eastern Georgia especially. New lines are being projected, others extended, and great corporations “f® p u rc , ha fmg or trying to purchase lines already built to add them to their sys- tems. The main cause of this activity is the rivalry for Florida business, and this competition extends far north of southern Georgia. The other day important changes of schedule were made on roads out of Atlanta, and the papers of that city and section protest against the changes, ana that they are solely for the acconnno- dation of travel to Florida and greatly to the inconvenience of Atlanta and the country thereabouts. This disregard of loeal interests indicates the extent of the railroad business to Florida, its rapid in crease and the thorough appreciation of its value by railroad capitalists. They want their trains to reach the groves that yield more freight to the acre than a hun dred acres in cotton, and the winter re sorts which are sought by tens of thou sands of travelers. They know that each year there will be a great increase of travel and freight, and they want to secure the routes that will reap the annual harvests already profitable in the infancy of the development of our state, its industries and commerce. In this struggle of com petition is found the assurance that one of the best routes into Florida may not be long overlooked, and that is the route via Tallahassee, say, and southeasterly down into the peninsula through the centre of the orange region to the sources of the St.Johns river. This route would cross all the main southern states, it would afford to visitors from anywhere the privilege of varying travel by coming into and going out of the peninsula by different routes. Now they must come in and go out over the eastern lines, or by a roundabout way at cost of much more time and money. We pre sume that the capitalists interested in the Columbus and Florida railroad enterprise look beyond Tallahassee and see the promise of a line extended diagonally across the peninsula, fed by all the roads that traverse it, and tapping the semi- tropical section of the state. “BOUHH OS FILKS.” Why sufter Piles ?
